EVERY ISSUEWELCOME TO TOTAL FILMB ow down, all. This issue, the king of big-screen spectacle, Christopher Nolan, is back with his blockbuster take on one of WW2’s key moments in Dunkirk. We went to Dunkirk itself (by helicopter, no less!) to talk to all the cast and filmmakers about their role in this immersive experience and I was lucky enough to sit in on Nolan’s sound mixing and quiz him on his genius. (I drove round the WB blacklot on a golf cart like I was in The Player so two ticks on the bucket list.) I also talked work/life balances (and parenting) with Colin Farrell, and the team celebrated the Planet Of The Apes universe, travelled to a galaxy far, far away (well, Orlando) for Star Wars Celebration, burned rubber with Edgar Wright…1 min

In your Ciarán Hinds interview [TF258], it said Justice League would see him play his first comicbook villain, though he was Satan in Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance. This brought back memories of a steaming cinematic turd… so, how do you forget a terrible film?JAMES, BOLTONWINGMAN SAYS...Well, we did say comic-book villain, and ol’ Satan was hoofing about even before Stan Lee had his first ’tache. Anyway, crap films. Alas, it’s the middling ones that are easiest to forget – the vanilla thrillers and beige biopics, not the real stinkers. Why not embrace…6 min

TEASERSSQUEALS ON WHEELSIt’s Midnight Run meets Raising Arizona with a taste of In Bruges,” bellows Aussie director Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3, Red Hill) over breakfast in the high-end dining area of a salubrious hotel in midtown Manhattan. It’s late April and he’s describing rollicking new action-comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard, his booming voice quashing the hushed conversations at all other tables.“Shit man, I got a call when I was hopping out of the surf in Malibu,” continues Hughes. “My fucking agent called me and said, ‘Ryan [Reynolds] wants to meet with you in New York tomorrow – you gotta get on a plane tonight.’ He said it was a two-hander and I said, ‘Who’s the other person?’ and he said ‘Sam Jackson’. I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, those two on the screen…5 min

Having devoured The Gunslinger, the first in King’s Dark Tower series, as a teenager (“I basically learned to write and read English by reading Stephen King books”), Arcel was “hooked for life” and actively pursued the movie adap after releasing his 2012 Danish drama A…2 min
